On August 28th, 2017, comics legend Jack Kirby would’ve turned 100—and as part of a year celebrating his contribution to the comics industry, DC has lined up a huge roster of writers and artists for a bizarre new “challenge” series, based on one of Kirby’s more out there creations: Kamandi, the last boy on Earth.

Star of his self-titled series between 1972 and 1978, Kamandi was a post-apocalyptic survivor of an Earth—referred to as “Earth A.D.”—ravaged by an event that turned what remained of the human race into a pre-technology civilization, while intelligent animals became the dominant species. Kirby wrote and drew the vast majority of the series’ first 40 issues before he left DC.

Now, though, a veritable who’s who of the comics industry is teaming up for a new 12-part miniseries featuring the character, dubbed “The Kamandi Challenge”: 12 writer-artist teams, randomly assigned to each other, were tasked with writing one issue each of the series, with the stipulation that they each take place in a different section of Kirby’s Earth A.D., also randomly assigned to them.

Without knowing what prior teams had written, the creative duos had to come up with their own single-issue Kamandi tale, starting wherever the last issue had taken place and ending in a new area the next team had to pick up from. Here are the teams working on each issue:

Issue #1 by Dan Abnett/Dale Eaglesham

Issue #2 by Peter J. Tomasi/Neal Adams

Issue #3 by Jimmy Palmiotti/Amanda Conner

Issue #4 by James Tynion/Carlos D’Anda

Issue #5 by Bill Willingham/Ivan Reis

Issue #6 by Steve Orlando/Philip Tan

Issue #7 by Marguerite Bennett/Dan Jurgens

Issue #8 by Keith Giffen/Steve Rude

Issue #9 by Tom King/Kevin Eastman

Issue #10 by Greg Pak/Joe Prado

Issue #11 by Rob Williams/Walter Simonson

Issue #12 by Gail Simone/Ryan Sook

It’s... definitely a bizarre way to structure a comic series, especially with each team having no idea what’s come before them. But it’s a pretty unique way to celebrate Kirby’s legacy at DC. The Kamandi Challenge is set to begin in January, with more details on the series being revealed later this week at New York Comic-Con.
